The first Gran Slam of the season awarded the new LLTL leader : latizada ! He won his first trophy ever, and overtook taoistwizard, who kept the first place during 9 LLTL rankings.
Just for your information, the ATP player Roger Federer just won his 20th GS, not bad.

PS: and the anekfutron jsut reached the 40th unit !



Nelson, LLTL : Congratulations latizada for this great performance ! You just achieved what Topper and taoistwizard did few months ago : winning your first title (a Gran Slam !) and becoming the new world number 1. The seventh of the LLTL. How does it feel ?

latizada : Thank you very much! I am very happy, as you can imagine. You said it! A great combo: My first title, a major and Nº1

Nelson, LLTL : This tournament was the toughest ever, with 35 players participating. The way you played the upper part of the draw was the key point. What are your tips for a young player who wants to be as consistent as you are ?

latizada : Yes, the upper part of the draw was key: Diego Schwartzman, Dolgopolov, Carreño-Busta. I think they were the key players for this great success. My only tip is: love tennis, follow the tournaments and enjoy the competition!

Nelson, LLTL : With this perfect start of the season, I guess your hopes are quite high for the rest of the year. What do you expect ?

latizada : My hopes are to maintain the N1 as long as possible. My performance on clay was quite poor last year (apart from Roland Garros) so that I have some room for improvement although I know it will be very hard to stay the ahead of competitors!
